it doesn't matter how finale deals with it... finale has been known to be wrong in the past. however, as is clear from my post, i would argue that finale's way of interpreting in this case it is correct as it relates to contemporary composition/creation/songwriting/noodling and doodling, but that workarounds are necessary for those people requiring proper finale playback of pre-1909 compositions. From: John Howell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >[...] while i certainly cannot doubt your knowledge regarding baroque/renaissance traditions and interpretation [having almost none myself], i will suggest that it is erroneous to import a brahms performance context into a 20th century notational context in order to justify the claim that 'quarter=dotted quarter' when changing from 4/4 to 12/8 still applies as a standard and can be taken for granted, and thus not have to be notated. equal visual representation of duration = equal temporal interpretation of duration; 8th=8th regardless of the change in time signature [when no other indication is present at the junction]. jef -- .jef.chippewa. mailto:jef@;newmusicnotation.com .shirling.&.neueweise. http://newmusicnotation.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
